Sugar Daddy is out of town on business. He went to take the deposition of a dying woman. It's all very dramatic and makes for a very saucy story if you are into that kind of thing. When Ben is gone, I like to create. Art, jewelry, sewing, you name it. I get the bug. However, since he's been gone, I haven't done a single thing. I started to embroider a onesie for a baby shower I am going to on Saturday (heaven help me), but I abandoned that project. I pulled out my fabric stash and looked at it for a really long time before putting it back in the closet. I even did about twelve stitches on a blanket I'm crocheting. Nothing was doing it for me. The nervous energy was killing me.
So I spent some time just looking. This is what I found:
Sometimes, just looking is enough.
Sometimes it calms me down.
But not last night.
I felt even more creative angst than before.
So I bathed the boy in almond and cherry blossom bubble bath. I can get away with stuff like that when his dad is gone. I made a frozen pizza for dinner and we sat on the couch while the boy watched cartoons. He started to nod off so I cuddled him close and smelled his flowery skin and all the nervous energy melted away. Just. Like. That.
Stumble It!

Oh, such a lovely picture with the light the way it falls on him. Purely angelic. Nothing is as wonderful as holding a little one and breathing in their smell (especially after a bath) And all your "finds" are so gorgeous. You seem to surround yourself with beauty.

As always, I love reading your blog my friend. It's my daily ritual. It was so fun having Ben here last night. I only wish that you and Thom could have come, too. But I sent a little surprise your way. Hope you know it comes with much love!

I just am getting caught up on your posts, my dear, and I know exactly what you mean. I just wrote in my journal 2 days ago that "it amazes me how 3 little souls can eradicate mine, in a single moment."
